The Social Media Benchmarking Company for Brands

Unmetric’s platform focuses on social media benchmarking for leading brands around the world. Unmetric recognizes that brands are !ying blind on social media and the absence of benchmarks has been detrimental to businesses who are used to competitive benchmarking and intelligence on mass media and the internet. Unmetric empowers marketing teams with data that was previously unavailable. Besides comparing the performance of competing brands, Unmetric also benchmarks brands against their sector and captures everything around brands’ Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Pinterest points of presence. This includes growth metrics and unique engagement metrics that provide insights into content strategies & performance. For more information, visit Unmetric.com
